SGI target: reduce carbon emissions by 278 mtpa by 2030

A mission to accelerate Saudi Arabia’s green energy transition and mitigate the impacts of climate change.

Paving the way to net zero emissions by 2060

Saudi Arabia is taking a multidimensional approach to emissions reduction.

The Kingdom has committed to have 50% of its power generated from renewable sources by 2030. Beyond a domestic energy mix transformation, SGI is steering a range of ambitious initiatives that will reduce emissions. These include investing in new energy sources, improving energy efficiency, and developing a carbon capture and storage program.

Together, these initiatives will help Saudi Arabia meet its climate goals and ensure a sustainable future.
